GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5870 Graphics Card in CrossFire X

As our third retail HD 5870 rolled into the labs it was time to c heck out CrossFire X. Some may wonder what CrossFire X is. Well, its lik e CrossFire, but with an X. On a serious note, though, in a single GPU se tup it means were going to be dealing with three cards today. If youre packing a dual GPU setup it tends to mean youre dealing with four GPUs w hich is something we intend to attack when the HD 5870 X2 shows up on our door step. Since we already know how a stock HD 5870 is going to perform, we thought it was the perfect time to take CrossFire X for a spin. Unlike our first CrossFire article, because we havent had a look at what GIGABYTE are gi ving us well take the time to have a look at the package theyre offer ing before getting into the card itself.
